THANK YOU

In September 2018 we launched a six week Crowdfunder campaign and on 19th November 2018 we successfully raised £11,208 with 323 supporters in 56 days.

In the last decade, The Marly’s small but dedicated team have worked tirelessly to get some ambitious projects off the ground that make life in this city richer and more diverse; like making spaces for queer people of colour to come together and be brilliant (Brownton Abbey – Brighton Festival 2018); to tour our work to places where there is less access to affirming LGBTQ+ led culture (New Queers on the Block) and uncovering the hidden queer histories of our city (Queer in Brighton). At the heart of what we do though is our unique public programme, presenting around 300 performances a year in our beautiful theatre space, which dates back to 1794. However our projects simply can’t provide the financial support required to keep our treasured space running so we asked for help.

With your help we will be able to to repair and replace our equipment, to preserve and build on our public programmes that centre and elevate some of the most marginalised members of the LGBTQ+ community and to support our dedicated core team who will continue to make ambitious projects happen in this city.
